Charleston Paddler

Looking for something fun to do this weekend?? With the new warmer temperatures, it is the perfect time of year to get out in the sun and try something new. May I introduce to you, Charleston Paddler

Find them on Facebook here

Located on Shem Creek right in Mt. Pleasant, Charleston Paddler offers Paddleboard and kayak rentals and tours, mini boat rentals, and surf lessons. They also offer boat tours/charters where you can visit the little islands surrounding the peninsula, view the historic sites near the battery, go on a bar hop booze cruise, or hop on board an inshore fishing charter. Have I mentioned their prices are excellent?! 

The closest I've ever come to a headstand on water

I met the owner, Harry, last Summer when I was looking up places to do SUP (stand up paddle) yoga. He was super nice and it was so much fun trying this new "sport" out.

A SUP yoga class is $25 and includes a 2 hour paddleboard rental (only $10 if you BYOB...board, not beer. Although Harry might be open that as form as payment hehe), where you paddle out to a dock, there's a short yoga class on the dock led by one of the fabulous instructors, then paddling back in for a flow session on the board.

My favorite part of the class might just be the sunset yoga class on the dock. Sooo relaxing after a stressful day at work!

The SUP yoga classes are every day at 6pm (except on Saturdays), as well as Wednesdays and Fridays at noon! The classes are all levels so if you have never tried yoga, this is a really neat way to start your practice.

Paddleboard and kayak rentals are always available so if you're not into yoga, it's OK you can still enjoy padding around. And no shame if you have to paddle from a seated or kneeling position!

The views once the sun begins to set are breathtaking

If you haven't seen Charleston from a Paddleboard yet, you're missing out
